Memoir Man in detail
Memoir Man belongs to the masculine fragrances of Amouage, the Muscat house. It describes it as a woody, leathery fougère with a dark, thoughtful mood. It is made with 24% perfume oil, a high proportion for an eau de parfum.
The official pyramid opens with absinthe and artemisia, two bitter herbs, alongside basil and mint. The heart brings together rose, incense and lavender, which gives it its fougère structure. The base is especially rich: sandalwood, vetiver, guaiac wood, amber, vanilla, musk, oakmoss, leather and tobacco.
Memoir Man suits autumn and winter evenings; its bitter herbs keep it crisp, while leather and tobacco slowly darken it. Absinthe and artemisia give it a herbal bitterness that sets it apart from softer fougères.
Three fougères in our catalogue come close: Green Irish Tweed by Creed shares lavender, sandalwood and oakmoss; Original Santal, also by Creed, adds musk; Tenore by Sospiro finds lavender, leather, amber and musk again.
